My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 314: Zhang Lei suggests making He Daqing the eldest uncle.

Before he knew it, it was noon. Zhang Lei vaguely heard a commotion in the yard. He got dressed and went out into the yard, where he saw his wives arguing and bickering, though he couldn't make out what they were saying.

When everyone saw Zhang Lei come out, they all fell silent, no one spoke, and all looked at Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei said, somewhat puzzled, "Why are you all looking at me? Go back to chatting."

As soon as Zhang Lei finished speaking, he realized that Qin Huairu was among the group.

Zhang Lei looked at Qin Huairu with some confusion and asked, "Qin Huairu, what are you doing here?"

Before Qin Huairu could speak, Lou Xiao'e interjected, "Honey, aren't you curious about what we're talking about?"

Zhang Lei looked at Lou Xiao'e with some confusion and asked, "What are you two talking about?"

Lou Xiao'e said with a smile, "We're talking about you. The second and third uncles of the courtyard at No. 95 want to cause trouble for you."

Hearing this, Zhang Lei asked with some confusion, "What are Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong up to?"

At this moment, Qin Huairu, who was standing to the side, spoke up and said, "Zhang Lei, Da Qing asked me to tell you that Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong want to join forces with the others in the courtyard to remove you from your position as Fourth Master."

Hearing this, Zhang Lei thought for a moment, nodded, and simply said, "Oh."

Seeing Zhang Lei's reaction, Qin Huairu said with some surprise, "What's with your reaction? Aren't you angry?"

Zhang Lei said with a smile, "Originally, I only took the position of Fourth Uncle on a whim. Now I don't go to the No. 95 courtyard house often, so let them dismiss me if they want."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu was a little angry. After all, she had been worried about Zhang Lei when He Daqing told her about this, and now seeing Zhang Lei's reaction, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Zhang Lei looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Qin Huairu, please thank He Daqing for me. Tell him that I don't care whether I become the Fourth Master of the Courtyard or not, but you can ask He Daqing to try to become the First Master of the Courtyard."

Upon hearing Zhang Lei ask He Daqing to be the "Grandpa," Qin Huairu was taken aback: "He wants He Daqing to be the Grandpa?"

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "That's right. Although He Daqing is just a cook, he's a good cook. With He Yuzhu here, your He family has two cooks in total. And you can use them for weddings and funerals in the future. Who would dare to offend He Daqing? Who would dare to disrespect He Daqing? Besides, Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong, even if they put their brains together, they can't outsmart He Daqing."

Upon becoming an old man, Qin Huairu's earlier annoyance vanished instantly, and her mind became lively again.

After all, she used to call everyone "Uncle 1," "Uncle 2," and "Uncle 3." Now that He Daqing has taken over, wouldn't everyone call He Daqing "Uncle 1," and she would become "Auntie 1"?

Although the way she addressed him felt a little awkward, it also made Qin Huairu feel superior.

As Qin Huairu was thinking, she suddenly stopped. Looking at Zhang Lei's concern for Lou Xiao'e, Ye Shuqin, and the others, and seeing their close relationship, Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel envious.

She watched for a while and realized that Zhang Lei hadn't looked at her at all. Then she looked at Zhang Lei's wives, who were dressed in glamorous clothes, and then at herself. The difference was very obvious.

Qin Huairu felt a pang of disappointment, wondering if she could dress as smartly and beautifully as them if she had the chance to follow Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei and Lou Xiao'e joked around for a while, then noticed that Qin Huairu was still standing there. They said, "Qin Huairu, just tell He Daqing what I just said. You can go back now."

Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, Qin Huairu gave a disappointed "Oh".

Lou Xiao'e looked at Zhang Lei blankly and said, "Zhang Lei, Qin Huairu kindly came to tell you about this, why didn't you invite her to stay for a meal?"

Zhang Lei smiled and tapped her head, saying, "There's no need. Besides, we're so close, and you're all here. If she's not careful, she might accidentally bump into you."

Hearing Zhang Lei say this, no one felt that anything was amiss.

Before they knew it, evening had arrived. Qin Huairu was delighted to see He Daqing return and went to greet him.

He Daqing looked at Qin Huairu and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you today? You look so happy."

Qin Huairu looked at He Daqing and said, "Isn't it good that I'm happy to see you?"

He Daqing said with a smile, "Good, good, I'm happy, I'm happy."

At this moment, He Daqing suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, what did Zhang Lei say about what I asked you to tell him today?"

Qin Huairu said somewhat displeased, "What else can we say? They just said 'oh,' and that it didn't matter whether they became the Fourth Master or not. We worried for nothing."

Hearing this, He Daqing thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "It seems I really worried for nothing."

He sat down, took a sip of water, and looked at Qin Huairu who was still staring at him, saying, "Don't you have anything else to say?"

Qin Huairu looked at He Daqing and whispered, "Zhang Lei asked me to tell you today that he thinks you're suitable to be the eldest brother in our compound, and that he supports you if you're willing."

He Daqing said with some surprise, "Me??"

Qin Huairu nodded and continued, "Zhang Lei said a lot. He said that Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui combined are not as good as you. Moreover, you and Zhuzi are both cooks. Every family in the courtyard needs your help for weddings and funerals. I don't think anyone will object to you being the eldest man in this courtyard."

Hearing this, He Daqing pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, although I haven't seen Zhang Lei much lately, his mind is indeed exceptionally sharp."

Seeing He Daqing's reaction, Qin Huairu asked, "You want to be a lord?"

He Daqing said, "Of course I will! Although I haven't been in the courtyard house for very long, with my position as the canteen manager and Zhang Lei's support, I'm more than capable of being a big shot. Besides, wouldn't it be better for you if I were to be a big shot? Then who would dare to look down on you?"

Qin Huairu nodded happily and said, "Da Qing, you're absolutely right!"

Seeing Qin Huairu's excited expression, He Daqing said with a smile, "Alright, let's discuss it together when Zhuzi comes back."
